I'm just going to leave this right here

Zoo pics

The Zoo was awesome! I had a ton of fun. It really made me realize that I need a new camera. Mine is okay for some things, but not for taking action shots (a bunch came out too blurry). Someday...













Snow Leopard w/ Cub














Brown Bear














Ocelot (my fav)














Gorilla doing questionable things














Giraffe! I was pissed off that I missed the giraffe feeding. It closed 45 minutes before I got there. Next time I'm going to plan more carefully.

ZOO!!!

I'm stoked to go to the Zoo tomorrow. I haven't been in a long time. Actually I wouldn't be surprised if the last time I went to the Zoo was in San Francisco which was like 6 years go. Tomorrow is Snow Leopard Day. Snow Leopards are bad ass...



I'm also looking forward to seeing the giraffes. What strange strange animals they are...

Rainy day in May

The healing process is in full effect. The only down side is now I have lots of dead skin and calluses falling off. I think that the best way to deal with it is to get a pedicure. I've never had one. I wonder if my doctor would allow it...

I have a bunch of new music to listen to. It's pleasing me greatly. I got it all last week from a friend. The first thing I dove into was Cryptograms from Deerhunter. I almost forgot about everything else...

Speaking of deer, I'm going through some serious Buck Hunter withdrawals. Dangerous Hunts doesn't even compare. So I've been playing Trauma Center on my wii. Love that game. You have to perform surgeries and reconstruct bone and such...

I have no idea what I'm doing for the holiday yet. I think I'm going to have a BBQ with my family at some point (details are still sketchy). And I'm probably going to do something with Matty Ice. Maybe go to Boundary Bay or something like that. I have the whole house to myself so I might through a kegger for the peeps left in the city for the holiday. I will say though, keggers aren't quite the same when you have beer on tap at all times...

I need to find more guest bloggers. If anyone is interested in submitting something to the blog send me an email at desolatesorrows@gmail.com. As long as it's somewhat relevant to the subject matter of the blog (which as you can see is very loosely defined) I'll post it...

I had a dream a few night ago. Over the past few days bits and pieces have been coming back to me about it. It began in Magnolia. I was under an overpass in a very industrial area. I was following an animal which may have been Urban Phantom, but I'm not sure. As I wandered further I ended up at a street carnival. There were booths lining the streets and lights strung all overhead. It wasn't long before I realized that the carnival was full of whores. Nothing but whores. But none of them were "working". It was almost like a convention. At one point I went up to a ticket booth to make some purchases and have some photos developed. They told me that the photos would take 30 days to develop. That's all I remember, so far. Usually I can remember most of my dream and what I don't is lost forever. Its a very strange sensation with this one. Little things in my day lead to massive feelings of deja vu...

The coffee is lack luster today. But I guess that it is everyday...

I'll leave you with this..

Morning rant

This morning I learned that giraffes are in the same grouping as cattle and deer. They also have the same number of neck bones as you and I, just much much larger. I really think that giraffes are neat. Maybe I'll start doing a regular feature on them. Then again maybe as soon as I finish this I'll never mention them again...

I was supposed to go bowling tonight. I've had it planned for like 8 weeks. The whole time I was thinking, "Why are we planning this out so far in advance?" Turns out it was foolish to plan so far out as its no longer an option with my foot. The closest thing that I could think of that I can still do is Wii Bowling, which we might do. It's pretty fun...

Speaking of the foot, it's doing well, I think. Tomorrow I have an appointment to get the stitches removed and I'm hoping that all is well. I get this bad feeling that I broke open a stitch at some point. It could also just be the natural healing process, but I'm not sure. At this point my biggest fear is that something is going to go horribly wrong and I'll have to go back in for surgery and start again at square one. Let's hope that's not the case...

Craigslist prostitution is a hot button issue there days. I had a feeling it was only a matter of time....

David got me a shirt with corn on it. I love it...

I really need a Giraffe

I think that my sister should get a goat. She doesn't think so. She's actually very much against the idea. The strange thing here is that her husband agrees with me. And for any of you who know my brother-in-law, you'll agree it's strange that we'd agree on anything. So I have to ask, if two people with completely opposite ideologies can agree about the goat can it really be a bad idea?...

...There was supposed to be a wind storm last night. Walter Kelly lied to me. I'm not very happy with him...

...Last night for dinner Mr. Sharp made an amazing curry. It had butternut squash, garbanzo beans and spinach. I can still taste it. And I'll be tasting it even more when I get home. There are tons of left overs...

...Google is quickly becoming Big Brother. I love Google and all, but they're becoming a little creepy. Now they are tracking out breaks of influenza through search terms. On top of that for anyone who hasn't looked at Google Maps recently you should. They now have a feature called "Street View" which gives you a 360 degree view of your desired location. It doesn't cover everything but they did get my house and if you look at it from the alley you can see Jeremy and I in the back yard. Creepy...

...I can't wait for tomorrow. I'm meeting up with Nathan and we're going to hit up some Buck Hunter. I think that I may be developing a problem...

...One last thing. For anyone who doesn't already know about Bus Odyssey you should check it out. It's turning out to be a pretty awesome blog...
